The Voice Cambodia star, San Srey Lai, shot dead by ex-husband

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

The Voice Cambodia star San Sreylai shot dead in murder-suicide
Mon, 16 October 2017
A former finalist on The Voice Cambodia was shot dead by her estranged husband at a beauty clinic in an upscale neighbourhood of Phnom Penh yesterday, shortly before the man turned the gun on himself.

[But] a police official who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed that 23-year-old San Sreylai, a finalist last year on the second season of the popular singing competition, was shot by her estranged husband – 53-year-old customs official Chey Rin – around 4pm yesterday at the Vita Longa Clinic on Street 360 near Boeung Keng Kang market.

Security camera footage circulating on social media shows Sreylai talking to Rin in the entryway of the clinic and turning away before he shoots her several times, then shoots himself in the head.

A security guard across the street who gave only his first name, Reach, said he heard three to four gunshots and ran outside to find the couple’s bodies in the entryway of the clinic.

Family and friends spoke of a tumultuous relationship in which Rin was often an aggressor. Sreylai’s sister, San Kongkea, said in an interview with a local television station that her sister asked Rin for a divorce years ago but that he had refused. According to Kongkea, the couple has two young sons. “They separated when she entered The Voice Cambodia – the relationship become worse and worse because he is a jealous guy,” Kongkea told TVFB...

Whoa! That's a seriously high number in one year. Then I checked Canada: one dies every 6 days at "the hands of her intimate partner." That's more than 60 in 2014. Shocking stats.

I believe some cop investigating the story lifted her bra to see the bullet-hole and took pictures of her chest and then shared them on Facebook. And people are worried about Kingsman, ffs.

Some extra information from a family member of the perpetrator (my wife’s brother in laws is his cousin). He knew him well and the victim was Rins 2nd wife. Her age being reported is false. Her sons are 8 and 6 so we think she’s more likely 26. She met Rin when he was working for the ministry but in a department that meant he had lots of *extra* income. He was pretty well off with nice cars and plenty of money. Now apparently he was moved to a different department where his bonus money dried up. Shortly after his marriage hits the rocks.
The wife’s brother in law moved the body to his home town for the funeral. Also he had been telling her he was going to kill himself and her for some time but as is Cambodia nothing was acted on.

His first wife has 4 grown up children who are all working.

I will ask later if there’s more to add and double check the facts.

In the USA being killed by your intimate partner is much less likely to happen than sitting on your arse all day eating and doing Feck all https://www.wvdhhr.org/bph/oehp/obesity/mortality.htm. (60 v 300,000)

Just noticed you said Australia not the US but I can’t be bothered to look up the figures for Oz though I would wager they’re similar.
